This is a great spot to camp if you want to ride the course for the 18hrs of Fruita mountain bike race. The lake is simple and clean, there is a large swim beach and the visitors center has childrens fishing gear that is free to use during your visit. There is a wooden play structure as well. This is a quiet park, far removed from the freeway and the noise of the city. It's an oasis in the dusty desert that is Fruita. The sites are nestled in a grassy flat area which is a welcome break from the dry, sage covered lands that surround it.
